2. Conversation-facilitation. AAim 1 to provide Ss with a stock of useful expressions (& their rhythm & intonation) e.g. the cliches of conversation, frequently used expressions, greetings, rejoinders, expletives… for recombination.Aim 2 to produce them quickly in new situations in new combinations rather than to know all segments by heart in their original sequence.

Why dialogue? It's the nearest the coursebook can get to face to face conversation. Memorization / recall can be aided by visuals, flashcards, stick figure drawings. Avoid Q & A formats and undue length.

The language of dialogues can be natural, appropriate, sufficiently redundant, giving plenty of scope for practice of weak forms - conversational English.
